and maybe shaun ellis for defense because hes a vet and has been here for a whiel, but idk about that

i would give it to mangold..its his 3rd year, and at this point who else are you going to give it to. as for defense, you have to give it to ellis. he is prob. the only guy who has been on the team for 5+ years straight anyway beside chad. on a different subject, im pissed that LC is getting a deal done..it just goes to show you that if you b!tch and moan you get what you want without even being one of the top 10 receivers in the league. broadwayjoe is right, why are you a captain? you are supposed to lead by example and show the newjacks to shut your mouth and win games..instead, veterans like coles continue to show the younger players that they always get what they want, even though they might not deserve it, but get it anyway because they have the franchise by the b*lls. its true, if LC goes we have nobody, but we could always trade for someone else and draft someone younger..that is just my opinion.

A QB....Chad's more deserving...Kellen might be too for the reasons Broadway listed. I'd also consider TJ.

Chad could be more deserving, but it would be sending kellen a bad message that the team respects the backup more than him...it might not be too bad, just as long as everyone agrees that kellen is the starter.

The team elects 6 captains i beleive, or something along those lines. Ben graham was one and a few other guys; not sure on the exact numbers or names, but theres a handful of them.

It's really starting to get interesting how the top of this draft is going to pan out. I know we had private workouts setup with matt ryan, gholston, avril, groves and mcfadden etc. I'm sure a lot is just playing the game and setting smoke screens, but it really is interesting to see where we're going.

One thing I'm starting to get worried about The nightmare scenario of what if Vernon Gholston, Darren McFadden and Jake Long go #2, #4 & #5 and the Jets can't trade down?

Ya, that is a rough situation to be in. We've been discussing it for a bit and it seems that no one can agree on where we would go; i wouldn't at all be surprised if we traded down, but took less value for it. Like trading down to the middle and than picking up just a second instead of a second and a third, or however the value works itself out.

yeah i woulndt be surprised nor would i be so upset about trading down for a little lesss than value...we shouldnt pikc there for money and talent reasons

with thta scenario, 2 of the 3 of ellis dorsey and matt ryan (not sure who you have falcons taking at 3, and assuming that you have c long #1) which are all prospects taht teams would love to trade up for...in scotts blog he spoek aobut the possibility of trading up for sedrick ellis and pretty much the same goes for dorsey

In my mind that is the worst possible scenario for us, and yes I believe we would get less value in trading down. But these things do have a way of working out sometimes. If we could end up trading into the middle of round 1 and getting Sweed, and possibly packaging the extra # 2 with our own and getting into the late 1st round to take Groves IMO I would be happy.
